Bitdefender Free Edition is a free antivirus that uses #1 ranked technology and is feather-light.

Bitdefender Free Edition uses the same ICSA Labs certified scanning engines found in other Bitdefender products, allowing you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all.

This free antivirus software download is an on-demand virus scanner, which is best used in a system recovery or forensics role. If you are on an "always-on" Internet connection, we strongly advise you to consider using a more complex antivirus solution.
